Description

Difficult Near-Gem 1922-S Saint-Gaudens

1922-S $20 MS64 PCGS. A minimally abraded survivor of an issue that was once ranked among the rarest 20th century Double Eagles. That was before several hoards were discovered in Europe and Central America from the 1950s through the early 1980s. Despite the increased supply, the '22-S remains scarce in Choice condition and is undoubtedly rare any finer. The surfaces on this lovely green-gold example display occasional splashes of orange patina. Well preserved aside from a solitary thin mark concealed on the reverse.
